Zapier MCP connects to Claude Code with a prompt. Paste it into Claude Code and it runs the install command, restarts, and sets you up with the Zapier onboarding Skill.
Before you begin
Connect Zapier MCP to Claude Code
Copy the prompt
Copy the prompt below:Install Zapier-MCP for me globally in a flash!
Run this command:
claude mcp add --transport http "Zapier-MCP" https://mcp.zapier.com/api/v1/connect
Then give me step by step instructions for how to restart Claude Code. After restarting, use get_zapier_skill with name "zapier-mcp-onboarding" and follow its instructions to set me up.
Paste it into Claude Code
Paste the prompt into Claude Code and follow the instructions.When prompted, authenticate with your Zapier account.If you are running Claude Code on WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux), OAuth callbacks from the browser may not reach Claude Code. If authentication does not complete, run Claude Code from a native Windows or macOS terminal instead.
Zapier also publishes an official Claude Code plugin. If you have Anthropic’s official plugin marketplace added, run /plugin install zapier@claude-plugins-official. Otherwise, add the Zapier marketplace first with /plugin marketplace add zapier/zapier-mcp, then run /plugin install zapier@zapier-plugins.
